I
believe that I was lucky to have suffered. Some people dont realize that
in suffering there is great potential, because if you are deprived for any reason..

I thought of myself as an atheist until
I realized it was a belief, too. It's a
shame everything has to have a label. I
feel that if I was figuratively dropped
on the Earth and there was a political line,
I would be just left of center. The difference
for me is that conservatives are more interested
in property values and rights and free markets,
and liberals are more interested in human
rights. In the end, there are people who
don't fit into the marketplace and are not

Six mistakes mankind keeps making century
after century:
Believing that personal gain is made by
crushing others;
Worrying about things that cannot be changed

Neglecting development and refinement of

Attempting to compel others to believe and

Enjoy the blessing of strength while you
have it and do not bewail it when it is
gone, unless, forsooth, you believe that
youth must lament the loss of infancy, or
early manhood the passing of youth. Life's
race-course is fixed; Nature has only a
single path and that path is run but once,
and to each stage of existence has been
allotted its own appropriate quality; so
that the weakness of childhood, the impetuosity
of youth, the seriousness of middle life,
the maturity of old age.. each bears some
of Nature's fruit, which must be garnered
in its own season.Marcus

I think the important thing to learn is

historically went along with those traditions.

I think that the Bible as literature should
be a compulsory part of the national curriculum..
you can't understand English literature

studies the nature of the divine, it will
earn the right to be taken seriously when
it provides the slightest, smallest smidgen
of a reason for believing in the existence
of the divine. Meanwhile, we should devote
as much time to studying serious theology
as we devote to studying serious fairies

One of the main purposes of laws in a democratic
society is to put burdens upon intelligence
and reduce it to impotence. Ostensibly,
their aim is to penalize anti-social acts;
actually their aim is to penalize heretical
opinions. At least ninety-five Americans
out of every 100 believe that this process
is honest and even laudable; it is practically
impossible to convince them that there is
anything evil in it. In other words, they
